The below picture shows the shift pattern with Hi range being forward on the long lever, and Lo range back toward the seat. The short lever that sits between the driver's legs is the engaging lever to move from 4x2 to 4x4. Stu
Edit - It occurred to me that you might have the older style brass plate (and transfer case) that says "Positive" and "Compensating". The below old thread contains an explanation of that function provided by Chuck Mantiglia of Chuck's Trucks in CT. Stu

Hmmm. Now I'm stumped. I'd suggest emailing Chuck, unless he stops by here to comment. Full time 4x4 is a possibility I'd guess. Stu

I will also add my welcome to the new members across the pond! Lets go back to the first truck, front diff on the left side as you look at the truck? That would make it a single speed transfer case truck correct Stu? How many levers should it have? Just the one between the drivers legs for in/out I would think. We need a picture of the floor of the truck. Maybe its just missing a lever.

So do R3-4s, the single speed transfer case trucks, have only the lever in between the drivers legs? Thats probably a bad question as maybe some of those trucks had the cross shaft to move the lever to the pass side.
R3-4 single speed t case............1 lever, passenger side front diff
R32-4 two speed t-case.............2 levers, drivers side front diff
Is that correct?
R3-4 single speed t case............1 lever, passenger side front diff
R32-4 two speed t-case.............2 levers, drivers side front diff
Is that correct?
